What are Win Sytems goals when participating at Caribbean Gaming Show?
To introduce our company and report the success of our systems. We were present in Colombia and in Argentina, and we chose the Caribbean show to exhibit our products and make our company known because we believe Puerto Rico is a strategic point to gather potential customers from different countries.
Win Systems is a company dedicated to develop solutions for the lottery and gaming market. We have a great presence in Mexico, where we are the leading provider of systems and we have connected almost 50,000 machines in more than 160 casinos. Besides, we have expanded in Latin America, we are already operating in Peru and surely in the second quarter of this year we will be installing and changing systems in Panama, so we will continue with our expansion plans in Latin America and the Caribbean.
We are a company based in Barcelona and we have dedicated to the Latin American market. We are now expanding to the Caribbean, Puerto Rico and the United States. We have planned to start working in Puerto Rico this year, and we are concluding the licensing process and we’ll start to see different areas in the Caribbean.
Besides, our main products are integrated system solutions for the interconnection of Gaming machines and casino management, highlighting our products WASS and WIGOS. We also have video lottery solutions as well as solutions for traditional lotteries.
Why do you choose Panama and Puerto Rico?
We grown our corporate customers and our natural expansion is with them to other markets, such as Panama. We saw an opportunity in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican casinos have a very similar environment than US, and, as our strategic approach is United States, we have decided to start there.
How do you see online gambling?
We are a land based company, however, on the other hand, we have solutions with online partners. We are aware of the fact that the market is highly atomized and our customers are already asking for a combined solution, for example. In Mexico, operators want to have a unique card for customers and online gambling, so we are working with several customers in this type of solution, which would be a unified wallet.
We are also present in China and there we have a video lottery and mobile lottery project; we have a technological partner. We have the cell phone back end and they have the front end solution, which gives us the control.
